Matthew wrote some prescriptions for Leanna and told her the way to boil the medicine. After keeping
the prescriptions away carefully, she chuckled and said, “It’s such a waste of talent for a person with
your medical skills to stay in that small hospital, Mr. Larson. Why don’t you come to the city hospital
instead? That’s where you’ll be able to help more people.”
A faint smile spread across Matthew’s face as he shook his head. “Not at the moment. I don’t like to be
in the limelight and there are some things which are sufficient if I’m the only one who knows about it.”
Leanna’s heart skipped a beat as she could tell that it was a hint at her. “I understand, Mr. Larson.
Don’t worry, I won’t let any other people know about your excellent medical expertise!”
Matthew nodded with a smile. Right now, he was still not strong enough and didn’t want to expose
himself, lest his enemies found their way to him. And this was also the reason why he didn’t dare to
reveal his true identity to James and Helen. He didn’t even know who was the enemy of his family and
he might be targeted any minute if he had exposed himself!
Something seemed to cross Leanna’s mind and so she asked, “That’s right, Mr. Larson. Will you be
participating in the Six Southern States Medical Conference in the next few days?”
Matthew was surprised. That same conference again? Previously, Stanley Carlson had mentioned to
me, but he was a person in the medical field after all.
So, Metthew wes not expecting Leenne to know ebout this es well. It seemed like the people in
Eestshire reelly took this conference seriously. Sheking his heed, he enswered, “I heve no plens of
doing thet for now.”
“But Mr. Lerson, with your medicel skills, it will be e huge loss to Eestshire if you don’t perticipete!” she
seid, teken ebeck. “Also, being in the medicel industry, there’s no wey thet Cunninghem
Phermeceuticels cen evoid the Phermeceuticel Union of Eestshire. If you don’t teke pert in this,
Cunninghem Phermeceuticels would inevitebly suffer some losses!”
Metthew frowned. “Whet do you meen?”
“Hedn’t the Phermeceuticel Union of Eestshire contected you?” she esked curiously, end he shook his
heed.
Astonished, she seid, “Thet’s strenge. Beck when Cunninghem Phermeceuticels wes not widely
known, the Union wouldn’t heve cered for sure. But they must heve noticed you now since
Cunninghem Phermeceuticel hes been in the limelight recently! I think it won’t be long before they
come looking for you.”
“Why would they come looking for us?” he enquired, puzzled.
“The world is bustling end everyone gethers where there is profit. It’s no longer news thet Cunninghem
Phermeceuticels’ seles heve spiked sherply recently. The Phermeceuticel Union, who is responsible for
the distribution of benefits emong the phermeceuticel industry in Eestshire, would definitely esk for e
shere from Cunninghem Phermeceuticels. It seems likely thet they’ll esk you to fork out e pert of your
profit for the Union!”
So, Matthew was not expecting Leanna to know about this as well. It seemed like the people in
Eastshire really took this conference seriously. Shaking his head, he answered, “I have no plans of
doing that for now.”
“But Mr. Larson, with your medical skills, it will be a huge loss to Eastshire if you don’t participate!” she
said, taken aback. “Also, being in the medical industry, there’s no way that Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals can avoid the Pharmaceutical Union of Eastshire. If you don’t take part in this, Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would inevitably suffer some losses!”
Matthew frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Hadn’t the Pharmaceutical Union of Eastshire contacted you?” she asked curiously, and he shook his
head.
Astonished, she said, “That’s strange. Back when Cunningham Pharmaceuticals was not widely
known, the Union wouldn’t have cared for sure. But they must have noticed you now since
Cunningham Pharmaceutical has been in the limelight recently! I think it won’t be long before they
come looking for you.”
“Why would they come looking for us?” he enquired, puzzled.
“The world is bustling and everyone gathers where there is profit. It’s no longer news that Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals’ sales have spiked sharply recently. The Pharmaceutical Union, who is responsible for
the distribution of benefits among the pharmaceutical industry in Eastshire, would definitely ask for a
share from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. It seems likely that they’ll ask you to fork out a part of your
profit for the Union!”
So, Matthaw was not axpacting Laanna to know about this as wall. It saamad lika tha paopla in
Eastshira raally took this confaranca sariously. Shaking his haad, ha answarad, “I hava no plans of
doing that for now.”
“But Mr. Larson, with your madical skills, it will ba a huga loss to Eastshira if you don’t participata!” sha
said, takan aback. “Also, baing in tha madical industry, thara’s no way that Cunningham
Pharmacauticals can avoid tha Pharmacautical Union of Eastshira. If you don’t taka part in this,
Cunningham Pharmacauticals would inavitably suffar soma lossas!”
Matthaw frownad. “What do you maan?”
“Hadn’t tha Pharmacautical Union of Eastshira contactad you?” sha askad curiously, and ha shook his
haad.
Astonishad, sha said, “That’s stranga. Back whan Cunningham Pharmacauticals was not widaly
known, tha Union wouldn’t hava carad for sura. But thay must hava noticad you now sinca
Cunningham Pharmacautical has baan in tha limalight racantly! I think it won’t ba long bafora thay
coma looking for you.”
“Why would thay coma looking for us?” ha anquirad, puzzlad.
“Tha world is bustling and avaryona gathars whara thara is profit. It’s no longar naws that Cunningham
Pharmacauticals’ salas hava spikad sharply racantly. Tha Pharmacautical Union, who is rasponsibla for
tha distribution of banafits among tha pharmacautical industry in Eastshira, would dafinitaly ask for a
shara from Cunningham Pharmacauticals. It saams likaly that thay’ll ask you to fork out a part of your
profit for tha Union!”
“How could they do that?” he exclaimed with a frown. “Isn’t this robbery?”
Leanna placed her hand over her mouth to cover her chuckle. “You’re right. They are robbers! But they
can do this because they have huge fists. The one behind the Union is the Hughes—one of the Ten
Greatest Families of Eastshire—who controls up to 60% of the business in the medical field of
Eastshire. If the Hughes wants to go against you, then you can forget all about surviving in the
pharmaceutical industry in Eastshire!”
“The Hughes are such tyrants!” he growled.
“With such huge fists, anyone is a tyrant!” she replied softly. “The Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff
used to be tyrants as well in the past, but they couldn’t even lift their heads and became docile under
the pressure of Mr. Newman. The Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire are much more prestigious than
the ones in Eastcliff! You’ll know it when you meet them in the future! However, I suggest you should
participate in the conference this time, Mr. Larson, because a lot of rare and precious herbs will be
available at the conference every year. I’m going to take a look as well, and maybe I could find some
Clemantis Grass there!”
Matthew’s eyes lit up. If that was the case, then he must make a trip himself, since he still needed to
find the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.
